GIAA
Class AAAA
Tattnall 9, George Walton 7
A pair of 4-run innings and some better defense propelled Tattnall to the state title.
George Walton took a 3-0 lead after two, but Tattnall answered with 4 in the third, 3 coming on Gradie Applingโs homer to right. Anna Still then drove in Molly Kemp, who had a two-out double.
Reese Covington took care of all 4 runs in the fifth with a grand slam to center, bringing in Emma Hicks, Carsyn Atwater, and Annamary Talcott.
Down 8-4, George Walton got 2 back in the sixth and 1 in the seventh, but Tattnall added an insurance run in the sixth.
The Trojans sent George Walton to the loserโs bracket on Friday with a 6-5 win, George Walton responding by ending Stratfordโs season with a 10-7 win.
Tattnall finished 29-5.
Class AAA
Championship: Piedmont 13, Westfield 4; Westfield 26, Piedmont 18, championship, 6 inn.
The Hornets won their eighth straight state title after a long and wild day.
The Cougars forced a winner-take-all finale with a big win, sparked by Mackenzie Plunkettโs 2-run homer in the first. Piedmont put it away with 5 in the fourth, 3 coming in on Shaniyah Laneโs hit, and then another 5 in the seventh, Kamie Gibby with a 2-run hit.
That set up quite the monster of a finale.
Piedmont led 7-6 after two, and 16-13 after four, the teams combining for 13 runs in that inning alone.
Then the Hornets went crazy with a 10-run fifth inning on 8 hits, highlighted by Madison Hammockโs grand slam to left. All the runs came with two outs.
Piedmont got 2 in the bottom half, but the Hornets kept it going with 3 in the top of the sixth.
Lauren Davidson and Hammock each had 5 hits, Hammock and Cate Raines with two homers each.
Chloe Hill, Addie Hobbs, Raines, Lindy Hair, and Madeline Katz had 2-hit games for Westfield.
Marissa Holder drove in 7 runs on 5 hits for the Cougars. Teagan Hinson, Kylee Keck, Shaniyah Lane, Memphis Sweat, and Lily Stowe each had 2-hit games.
